GULP!
This whale shark almost swallowed a man who was filming underwarter pictures in Mexico. The shark feeds with its mouth open, catching fish and planktin. With a 5 foot wide mouth and 350 rows of teeth, he might seem dangerous but he is actually docile.

I bought a new "coffee table" book for the library about sharks. I can hardly wait to show it to you.
